South Australia Residential

What is UC(L) zoning in South Australia?

UC(L) in South Australia is the Urban Corridor (Living) zone. It is a residential zone under the state planning scheme. In plain terms: apartments and the densest housing, usually near centres and transport.

What can you build on UC(L)?

UC(L) is a residential zone, so it broadly supports residential land uses. The exact permitted, permissible and prohibited uses — and the development standards (height, floor space, lot size) — are set by the local environmental plan or planning scheme that applies to the parcel, and they vary council by council. Always confirm the controls against the current instrument before relying on them.
